I use "claws-mail" and all I have to do is highlight the text I want to reply to. If there is something I still want to eliminate, I just highlight it and delete it. Now. if I had to start counting characters, lines, etcetera and entering cryptic code to remove said items, that would be a PITA. I rarely use a smart phone to respond to an email. And if I do, I have discovered that it is possible to delete unnecessary text AND position the new text at the bottom of the message. By the way, I have also discovered that you can do the exact same thing in MS Outlook. I don't use "Thunderbird" so I cannot comment on its features or deficiencies. -- Jerry _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
